Note from primary author on statement from page 8: “The way that neuraxial anesthesia is managed in pregnant patients undergoing non-obstetric surgery is similar to how it is managed after cesarean delivery.” It means that the principles are the same as those you already apply for cesarean sections. In practice, it means taking care of maternal positioning to avoid aortocaval compression, preventing and managing hypotension in the same way, and using the same precautions regarding drug dosing and monitoring. In other words, when neuraxial anesthesia is chosen for a non-obstetric procedure, the management doesn’t differ much from what you already know from everyday cesarean anesthesia practice.
